No, but it depends on what you did exactly.

If you did:

 1) Configure /dev management as static
 2) Configure your kernel
 3) Build Buildroot
 4) Reconfigure /dev management as udev
 5) Build Buildroot

Then yes, it is normal: Buildroot doesn't try to be smart about
this kind of dependency. If you change the /dev management style, you
are responsible to restart the build of the kernel (make
linux-dirclean; make) so that it gets a configuration that is
compatible with a dynamic /dev management.

Best regards,

Thomas
